Six reasons why.... I am smiling today!

It has been ages since I have done one of these posts. But I am in quite a good mood this week. Maybe because it hasn't been that cold. Or that dreary. And it seems my happiness is affected by sunshine! Anyways here are the six things making me smile this week.

♥ My PhD. Now most times my PhD makes me want to weep. It can be so exhilarating yet so very frustrating at times. But then I remember that I am doing something I wanted to do ever since I was a little girl. And my heart sings with happiness over the fact that I am achieving one of my life's goals!

♥ DH. Is there supposed to be a 4 year or 5 year itch for being married? Well if so, I don't think I will be scratching it any time soon. DH continues to add to my happiness. I feel very fortunate that we have such a happy marriage. ♥Kindle love. I just cannot get enough of my Kindle!! You may be sick of me raving about it now. But it really is a wonderful little device.

♥Friends. Although I am separated in distance from a lot of my closest friends I really do appreciate the times that we can chat on the phone, or email, or Skype. There are a lot of exciting things happening in their lives too. Which makes me very happy and very proud! ;-)

♥Longer days. I said I wouldn't moan about winter but I am so excited by the fact that the days are getting longer again. DH says I must not wish away time. But I am sure I am not the only person who is excited that Spring is getting closer!

♥Driving. I am still having manual driving lessons and I will probably need quite a lot more lessons before I am test ready. But I am making progress and I feel quite happy that I am overcoming this fear. Oh and I so totally rocked the Theory test! Hazard Perception? Bring it on! haha!

Ok lovely people, please share in the comments the things that are making you smile. I hope you have a fabulous day!

P.S. I am planning on revamping my shop with some lovely Italian made handbags. I am waiting on my first small shipment of 6 bags now after receiving 2 excellent and really high quality samples. I am sooooooooooooooo excited! I guess this may be the 7th reason I am smiling today! hehe.

I'm positively gleeful that the days are getting longer. It's too dreary by far. I love these types of posts and committed to blogging my own in 2012. My first Cherry Blossom bloomed today http://asherraleigh.com/2012/01/cherry-blossoms/

I love reading posts from bloggers about things that make them happy or that they are grateful for. In this complain-heavy world we live in, it's always good to focus on ones blessings. Thanks for sharing CP! Your post made me happy!
